In this lecture, we�re going to go into the steps of processing the images and the GCP data with
Pix4D Desktop.
I�ve covered the details of each processing step and what each option means in part 1 of this course,
so I may not cover all of it in detail again.
I�m going to focus mainly on detailing out the ground control points aspect of it.
So let's begin.
I�ve opened Pix4D Desktop.
Let's click on "New Project".
First I'm going to assign the project name. I'm going to call it "project243".
Click "Next".
Let's add the images.
The project has 90 images. Click "Next"
again
The image properties are displayed.
I'm happy with the coordinate system and all the other details.
I click "Next" again. I check the output and GCP coordinate system. Again , WGS84 / UTM zone 43N
works perfectly for me.
So I move on.
Next it shows me the various processing templates. 3D maps is what I want,
so I click on finish. This takes us to the satellite image of the site location with the geolocations of
each camera position.
First we start with the "Initial Processing" step.
Click on "Processing Options" to double check all the processing parameters of Step 1.
All the parameters look fine. Again,
I�ve gone into detail of what each parameter means in part 1 of the course, so I�m not going to repeat
it here.
So I click on "Start" and wait! But I'm not going to make you wait with me,
So let's skip to the end of the processin..and it's done.
It generates the quality report.
Let's take a cursory look at it.
You can see here that the georeferencing has been done but the 3D GCPs have not been added in.
Here�s a preview of the orthomosaic
and the DSM. And the quality report looks good!
